About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and codependency concerns. She also helps those facing grief, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and major life changes.

Marlo focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name the patterns that keep repeating. Conversations often include ways to set boundaries, improve communication, and manage intense emotions so daily life becomes more manageable.

Her methods draw from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among other approaches. That means sessions can include thought work, skill practice for handling strong feelings, and problem-solving for immediate concerns. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change when clients feel stuck.

Marlo pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment wounds, and patterns such as people-pleasing or dependent behavior. She can help people unpack how past relationships shape current choices and responses. Practical strategies and short-term goals are commonly part of the work.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People leave with specific tools to try between meetings and a plan to track progress. To start, clients describe what they want to address and Marlo helps map a path forward.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Marlo blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience so they can name what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. DBT adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Marlo collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means she may prioritize skills training for emotion regulation, thought-focused exercises for anxiety or depression, or conversation-based exploration for relationship patterns like codependency.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports continuing skill practice between meetings and makes regular progress tracking more practical.
